Case description

Here you can observe active bleeding at the gastric fundus. Cigarette smoking can affect gastric mucosal defense adversely. Cigarette smoking is believed to play a facultative role in H pylori infection, ie, people who smoke tend to develop frequent and recurrent ulcers and their ulcers are more resistant to therapy. No evidence indicates that dietary habits or alcohol consumption predisposes individuals to gastric ulcer.
